New motos are just too big for my baby hands so I got myself an s23 for a steal, but I’m finding that I miss some of the functionality that I used to have, and that some features are just annoying on this phone.

What kind of qol apps do you galaxy-havers use? Specifically are there any that let me use more than just double tap and long press on the power button for quick actions?

Note: I don’t know if I can jailbreak it and keep my carrier. I use Google fi so it seems like breaking it would break everything? But I have no idea :3

Except if you need banking apps etc which will refuse working when they detect a customized OS.

Thanks for this link. All my US banks are on there. Although it’s not really a bank, but PayPal is not listed. Does anyone have experience with this or with banks in the Philippines?

The PayPal app definitely works with microG. I can’t confirm whether it works with a completely deGoogled version of Android, but it has been reported as working by multiple users through Techlore’s Plexus project.

EDIT: Just checked PayPal on a completely deGoogled device and it works.

Not always accurate. Depends on the institution (my credit union’s app has worked flawlessly for years).

All the bank apps I’ve used have their own keyboard built-in
